And the fact that Bravo still gives her a platform after the scandal says something about the toxic reality of today's entertainment industry...

The fact that the IRS will get paid before the victims is disgusting to me.

It’s so disgusting that someone can steal money from people who need it the most due to tragedy and loss. There’s a special place in hell for such greedy selfish people.

I had a brief interaction with “Erika Jayne” back in 2011 when a club I worked for tried to bring her act to London. I had the “pleasure” of communicating with her for all of 2 minutes and she was rude, full of her own self-impotence & just not very nice at all. I remember thinking at the time “how can she have such a fabulous life; being so rude and nasty to everyone” Well, this video pretty much answered that question. I’m still actually surprised this person has avoided responsibility for THIS long; but if we’ve learned anything from this story is that it will all soon catch up to her.

I noticed a long time ago how people would tell the poor to live within their means but excused the wealthy when they overspent on their lifestyles.

There’s bankrupt, when you have no money. Then there’s morally bankrupt when you have no soul.

Wow! I didn’t know she didn’t raise her son. She didn’t mention that on the show, did she? But she talked all proud that he’s an officer.

The major 1st article with Erika's name in the headline came out in the UK in 2016 saying client settlements funded her lifestyle. Erika was named in a 2018 lawsuit as a co-defendant for stolen client funds. Erika was subpoenaed in May 2020 saying she was filming rhobh and unable to be deposed, they subpoenaed her again in Sept 2020 which she answered the same way. She then filed for divorce on election day in an attempt to bury the story. She's doxxed a federal judge. She's posted to social media mocking the victims. Her business acted as a tax shield and many of the "gifts" are unaccounted for, like a Chagall painting she was given in an episode of rhobh. Remember in 2019, Erika bragged she'd worked at the law firm for a decade and was basically an attorney with all her experience- she now claims she never said this despite it being in an interview as well as a TEDtalk.

As it turns out, she did her own child a really big favor by abandoning them. The only thing worse than having no mother is having an emotionally-lacking turd.

Finding out a gold digger would lie for money and fame is just mind-boggling. If you can't trust them, who can you trust???

When my parents divorced, my mom had a choice between us or the assets and she chose us. My mom always says that I’ll understand many of her decisions in life once I have my own children. The fact that Erika gave him full custody as the mother speaks volumes about the kind of woman and mother she was at that time.

This is just further proof that money can't buy class.

I bet she has fans who, despite never having any chance of the lifestyle she enjoys, will defend her and feel sorry for her.

Governor Newsome of CA was on with Andy Cohen and publicly stated Erika was his favorite Housewife. Girardi was also a major donor to all his campaigns. The rot goes very deep and Bravo/NBC-Universal needs to step up and put these people on pause until the cases are settled. Another one is facing federal charges, yet she is filming at this moment and collecting NBC checks.

And to think Martha Stuart did time for acting on a piece of information. These people are sicker than anything I could imagine. Completely depraved.

A couple thousand dollars could change my life. It's so difficult to conceptualize people living like this, stealing like this. And to siphon millions from your clients only to respond "lol no" when investigations and lawsuits start. $750,000.00 earrings. Edit: I also absolutely loved the video. The contrast of Erika writhing around on the set of her faux music videos (I'm guessing?) in sequined bodysuits while the narrator speaks on the people whose tragedies she helped exploit for money. Her success is built upon the backs of the other people's misfortune. I don't think her character could have been illustrated any better, and this was both entertaining and disheartening.

to me its just crazy to see how people can watch her show, covet her lifestyle and even think of her as someone they want to emulate. its mind boggling for me.

Every time Erika appeared this season on her show, she was vile. Like, impressively vile. Even for a real housewife.

I don’t like her lack of caring about the victims she never showed any empathy she’s more worried about not being able to buy Cartier from stolen money 💰I stopped watching bravo last year when I found out about Erika

Omg. I loved this. Exposing that horrible woman for what she is. No holds barred. 👏👏

Man.. Calling these people scum just doesn’t convey the depths they’ll sink to. It’s amazing and horrifying. Just when my opinion about humanity can’t drop any lower… oh look… a whole new level down there.

The fact that she gave up custody of her child when she was getting divorced from her first husband says everything.

At 19, my boyfriend at the time bought stolen laptops and brought them to my apartment while i was at college. I was left with a hefty suspended sentence and 13 theft 1s. It still impacts my life at 34, and dispite me being naive at the time, i'll always accept responsibility for looking the other way. I could not even fathom the amount of damage done by these subhumans, and just how long they've lived lavishly off of this callous leeching.

I never thought I'd be happy for a child to be abandoned by their "mother."

Men, you need to find a woman who will look at you like Erika Girardi looks at Tom Girardi's wallet.

Another shame about this is that IRS will only be able to use this money to audit people who aren't anywhere near rich.

I'm with you, Georg! This is completely disgusting and a textbook case of entitlement underpinned by extreme narcissism. I laughed when she shed those crocodile tears to her show friends. She is guilty as sin and I fervently hope both Erika and Tom get what they so richly deserve...jail time. Let's see how Erika enjoys wearing the same outfit everyday while living in a 6 x 6 cell.

She needs to give everything back it doesn't belong to her and her fighting for what's not hers shows how much she doesn't care truly gross behavior.

Amazing how someone can spend so much. I guess it helps mask the complete lack of a soul.

I wonder at what point Erika might develop hereditary sudden onset Alzheimer’s from her husband.

This is the most comprehensive report on these two. She is a no talent hard faced grifter and he is a thieving bully. I'm Australian and truly amazed that they aren't both in jail.

It's hilarious how people like Erika who come from nothing act like they were born to wealth. I read Aamyko's description of her brief interaction she had with Erika and how rude and disrespectful she was, a true sign of no class. You can take the stripper out of the club, but you can't take the stripper out of Erika.

Chief of LA Police Charlie Beck giving them the "here's your dinner" and hugging them is just disturbing. He stole millions from so many who desperately needed it and he had them all wrapped around his fingers? The State Bar's failure to investigate is criminal.

Absolutely shocking. I mean, the diamond story says it all. Even if she didn't know where the money came from, and that's a very big if, any morally right person would give up having some fucking diamonds to help people in need.

It is as if I woke up one day and a huge portion of our society was narcissists, which allowed them to have zero remorse for the damage they inflicted upon others!

I stopped watching any of the Real Housewives shows many years ago and this story is a stark reminder of why. Definitely worth boycotting Bravo as they are clearly culprits in the ongoing injustice for those poor victims. Wow, just wow!

$750,000 for a pair of diamond earrings. God damn, I didn't know diamonds that small could be worth that much.

Georg, I really love your style of delivery. The subject matter is very emotionally charged for the average viewer (average = doesn't shit gold), very incendiary. It would be trivially easy for even a hardened, stoic narrator to inject a severe bias into the delivery. But you remain pretty calm, even manage to inject some subtle, hilarious jokes here and there. Most people that talk shit about rich people/politics/etc. are close to ranting and raving through the delivery. I found myself absolutely hating these two people, but whenever I feel myself start to get mad, I stop because getting mad only hurts. The fact that you remain calm (and witty( through it helps to assuage my inner sperg. tl;dr awesome video, awesome channel. I may be meandering into your paymetons, as soon as I find a buyer for my $750,000 diamond testicle stones.

I never realized until now that she is totally qualified to be a politician.

Choosing to dump her son and run shows what sort of character she has

Erika is a deeply empathetic individual. She has formed lasting, meaningful relationships with all her possessions. The clients simply could not meet the object's emotional needs because they are poor, and poors are too mentally deficient to care. Could you imagine anyone meeting the needs of your lava lamp? Maybe your dog that has suspiciously disappeared, but not anyone else. Or maybe everyone else that isn't you would bother to name each bloblet and do everything they can to preserve them instead of letting them die in the name of birthing new bloblets.

Thanks for covering this! I watch RHOBH and it’s very frustrating that many of the other women defend her. They didn’t even address the Hulu documentary or the witnesses statements 😓😓

Good video George. It's gross how theses people go about with their wealth. Greedy & vain.

I remember watching the show, I quit when Lisa quit, and Erika bragging constantly about her $40,000 a month glam squad! I make just a little more than that a year!!!!!

"Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves." - Robert Kennedy

Can I just say something? This isn't meant as a slight to people who enjoy these kind of content creators or the content creators themselves. But on KZfaq it seems that there is an empire of stones being thrown. Stones thrown in glass houses and towards peers. One content creator will do a hit piece on another creator; lambasting either their choice of content or diving into (and thus exposing/preserving forever) possibly true or false facts about someones private life. Judging them for things they may have done in the past, that may seem egregious but only if you look outwards. Theres a sense that people forget that we have all done things we regret and just because someone makes a living making videos on KZfaq, that doesn't entitle the audience to ruin their livelyhood/reputation in ways most people know they would never experience. You should always punch upwards, because punching your peers can be seen as petty and all it takes is for the clock to strike midnight and your day of reckoning comes (look at Pyrocynical, someone who made fun of Behind The Meme, only to become a literal meme himself now; the "guy who had to admit he has a fetish for farting hyper-inflatable dragons to over 1 million subscribers". So when I see Georg's content, talking about millionaires and billionaires who for some reason, no one seems to want to talk about; even though they are actually the ones doing crimes so abhorrent that the only way they avoid jail (or worse) is through their fortunes. It's incredibly refreshing and I thank you.

Very well done! Thank you for being the moral conscious of these despicable people! In my humble opinion the other housewives should refuse to have anything to do with her! That’s just me! Thank you once again your so refreshing!

Look, any time you see one of these ladies spending money like their is an endless supply, you will eventually see they are stealing it from someone. Watch closely. There is at least one other housewife that whose husband is up to shady business. As for Erika, I think she was trying to parlay her way into independent income….as a pop star….at 46 LOL. It’s never going to break even

Why do these people wish to live in such a Distopian reality so badly. Every frame of footage showing their life, even just their faces, lips and skin, looks like prison-hell-dimension-torture

"Have a nice day" really means something when someone says it instead of promoting their channel or their sponsor. Thank you Georg, I'll try.

I used to watch the series and then I started to realize how horrible they are. Even when I liked that kind of show, she really set my gut feelings off, not a good person.

This is one of those most well explained and well done videos on this subject I’ve seen . Nicely done

Georg's contempt for the rich is inspiring.

Even if she didn't know the video footage of her makes me want to dislike her. No class whatsoever.

Extreme narcissism .......that’s an understatement!

Janis Joplin didn't need a $40,000.00/month glam crew and man she could belt out a tune,she had talent,unrelentlously!

To quote a nurse, "My father's a lawyer, and most lawyers are evil cvnts."

How is it you can steal millions from people and not go straight to JAIL???

Love you! Saw your last episode on this before people were talking about it. You called it!!!

She needs to go to jail for profiting from the proceeds of crime.

Much as I continue to enjoy your dissection of these cases, I am beginning to miss your movie stuff.

You can funnel stolen money into an LLC? I thought that's what charitable foundations were for?!

Thank you for telling us all the truth. I think all of us knew bravo would protect her. Especially the way her reunion went, but her attorneys had her looking all washed up. 2 days later on Instagram she looked nothing like she did at that reunion. This is disgusting and vile what she's doing. Thank you again for sharing this with the whole world. Those girls that are on that reality show with her. Do not know her. They will, she will trip up.

Great channel! Just came across it on my recommended list and have been binging on your stories.and love your sarcasm, always on point 😂

Please post the link to where she says having a private jet is a big responsibility. I really want to see how that train of thought plays out.

She not only has fought to try and keep everything she tried to CLAIM MORE MONEY BEFORE A BURN VICTIM and other VICTIMS when judge ordered sales of house to him she tried to fight him before trustee shut her down with a letter she signed years prior agreeing to let creditors take money before her incase of loan repayment issues. Posting thrist traps and gaslighting the vicitms and feeling sorry for herself trying to get gag orders on investigation like 4 times and silence any truth getting out and trying to block investigation into her finances lying constantly saying shes cooperating ect ect while her "friends" cast and her "fans" support her... 🤮 the fact that's enough people out there that thick this behaviour just her RECATION to this nevermind the facts that she clearly knew SOMETHING who think this behaviour is ok is disgusting.

Spending millions and millions of dollars on dogshit music that no one actually buys just so you can have big lavish parties to reveal terrible music videos and celebrate your paid for accomplishments. They need to invent a word beyond narcissist for whatever Erika is

The love of money is the root of all evil

Well done sir! I run an LLC and I work to be above board. This is a lesson in how some people manipulate the system. Well done, fine sir

I think my favorite thing about this series is your utter contempt. You sell it really well without being a cartoon about it. Just simmering with disgust, as am I.

Amazing how the poor, are told to live within their means. While the rich and privileged, want more wealth and get it even if they steal it. They can fuck right off for me too. I’m disabled and have had to live on £70 a week. To say this is a hardship is a understatement. 🤗🤗🤗

I appreciate your unrushed reading of this information! Thank you, very interesting.

Georg, I swear that someday I will give you some money for all these great videos. Cheers! 👍

Well, at least we know who the first (or second) Real Housewife of House Arrest is gonna be

Wow thank you! Awsome content!

Lately, I've been marveling at the aesthetics of KZfaq. The opening of this video is so well done, sitting in a wingback chair, that green desk lamp, etc. Good composition. And good content.

13:11 - "A cuddly toy" - I'm old enough to get that reference.

The list of belongings she sold sounds like the prizes on the conveyer belt in The Generation Game

Wow, thank you for this information. I still did not know what was going on in the past few years.

YOU DO IT SO WELL. LUV IT

please keep doing these scam cases there very well done

What a vomit-inducing specimen! Thanks for the update, Georg!

The audacity of this woman and her husband

This to me would win the Pulitzer of all literary and other genre videos. It was concise, well researched and presented in a fashion that everyone would understand. This, this explanation of what we’ve all been wondering, is one of the best videos I have ever seen relating to a scoundrel and his psychologically damaged partner. Thank you for the time and effort put into this and helping everyone understand how callous some people are, sheeps’ in wolves clothing and psychopathy at its best.

These personal takedowns are fascinating. I'd love to see you keep on digging, following the money all the way through the corrupt systems we live in. Rotten to the core, late stage capitalism. These people bob around in it, like bottom feeders. Thank you for shining a light on them and therefore the spaces they inhabit. Appreciate your good work from there in your dark cave 👍👏🙂

When the "girlfriend experience" goes too far.

Well done reporting.

I’m with you on this, well done on the video. Thank you

Well, I suppose one silver lining is that her face appears to be melting now.

Thanks for the fantastic investigative content as always, Georg. Always looking forward to your next upload! This was a very welcome follow up to your episode on Tom!

Good job man. Enjoyed the documentary.

Amazing coverage! I subscribed

Erika is mistaken if she thinks she's going to triumph without some humble pie. Apart from the civil suit shenanigans, if she's unfortunate enough to irritate a political prosecutor, she'll catch criminal charges as a receiver of stolen goods and real prison time. She needs those Bravo cheques, she does. But I doubt she'll survive her high legal costs.

My sister loves Real Housewives, so I watch because I like hanging out with her. But I can't get into it because it makes me so angry that these women get to have such fun lives, being shitty people. This chick is the worst of them all-living such a fun, carefree life on money meant for helping those whose lives will never be the same because of circumstances beyond their control. It's really disheartening.

@0:04 - Your content is quite good, mate. I'm never one to shy away from self-deprecation, so I'll come clean an tell you that I did a cursory DDG search for "Giant Lava Lamp" before the filed perspective issue smacked me upside the head. Well played, sir. Well played. You earned two subs. One from me and one from my wife who happened to be listening only and requested that I forward your channel to her. Nice job.

Love the dry wit and sense of humor. A new Sub.

Unsurprisingly, the real housewives series is a goddam factory for these sorts. There's a documentary on Hulu, I think, of one of them from the Utah series. I'd be willing to bet there's more criminality underneath a lot more of these people

Absolutely shocking that this has seemingly gone almost unchanged. Fantastic research again George very well done as always.

Disgraceful,shallow humans! They collectively disgust me, as do the ‘shows’ that portrays their privileged lives. In this day and age with homelessness and despair, this is the last type of crap we need thrown in our faces! Zero, zero respect for their hedonistic behaviour!

Thank You sir you did an excellent job.. I am a new subscriber 👍🏼
